Who's Minding The Mint? (1967)

When an employee (Jim Hutton) at the U.S. Mint accidentally destroys $50,000, he comes up with a scheme to break into the mint and print the money and replace it. But in order to accomplish his plan, he finds that he needs a group of people to help him including a cutter (Dorothy Provine) at the mint, a pawn broker (Milton Berle), a retiree (Walter Brennan), a gambler (Joey Bishop), a safe cracker (Jack Gilford), an ice cream man (Bob Denver) and a boat maker (Victor Buono). Directed by comedian Howard Morris, this is an amusing if sometimes laborious farce. The cast is comprised of accomplished comic actors and they do what they can with the often thin material. Milton Berle fares best since he has the best gags and nobody does a double take better than Berle. In the company of such comic hams, Hutton and Provine tend to recede into the background at times. It's no IT'S A MAD MAD MAD MAD WORLD but if you're into frenzied comedy, this has its moments. With Paul Winfield, Jamie Farr, Jackie Joseph and Corinne Cole.
